I am so disgusted by these politicians, facilitating & legitimising this hateful ideology & its bullies. This is a social tragedy. Labour supports this under instruction from Starmer. Unforgivable. I am so angry.

What a degenerate bunch of absolute fuckers.

On a happier note, I see that Robin Woof (the bloke who succeeded in stopping all those people from watching 'AHF' at Edinburgh uni last week) has been charged with assault.

Not his first brush with law do I do hope that counts against him.

Well, I for one will now be opposing independence. This is not the Scotland I want to live in.

Is it likely that Westminster will quash this dangerous legislation? It seems like that's the only hope left for Scottish women (what a dire situation).

Those little incel fuckers' days of gloating will end soon. The Scottish public -- when they really know what's going on -- won't stand for it. I swear -- most people don't know what the hell is happening because of the concerted and continuous media blackout.

And Scotland makes 19. Legislatures that think feelings are more important than facts and safety. The only bright side is that opposition to this madness is vocal and well organised in the UK so you are already on the path to repeal. Unlike in NZ where literally no journalists or politicians will touch the topic, except to say everything trans is glitter. We have a long battle ahead.

I am beyond despair at all this. What is the matter with these people?!?

How have we arrived at the point where our lawmakers (or indeed anyone!) can even contemplate any of this science denying garbage? I'm in Wales, not Scotland, but this is the fate of the whole UK in two year's time after the next GE.

I'm starting to think that an extinction level event is the only viable future for the human race

What can we do? I am in the States, and already living with this BS at ground zero (California). But I have felt so, so much hope reading and watching the admirable GC women in Scotland who have been so informed and so determined to fight this dangerous nonsense.

My biggest concern is that all of this insanity is being implemented in ways that ensure that the inevitable results will be invisible. IRL, women and children will be hurt. On paper, the states (and countries) will be able to pretend nothing has changed, because they simply refuse to collect and record the data.

In Washington state, the state passed legislation making it impossible to find out how many trans-identifying males are actually in women's prisons:

In Belgium, they don't even bother to track or report crimes committed on women by transwomen, and even to record the sex of perpetrators:

Now that Sturgeon has forced through this insanity, how can women in Scotland and elsewhere ensure that crime data is accurately collected and recorded? I assume we'll have to do it ourselves? And we won't be able to get the data from the authorities, so we'll have to get it from women self-reporting ... and then this will be dismissed as "transphobic lies"?

I will make a HUGE fuss if and when I EVER encounter a bloke in female spaces, and if he wants to make an issue of it, I am going to go hammer and tongs to the press.

Not enough people - certainly not enough women and not enough parents - know about this shit. When they find out, these astoundingly stupid, ghastly male specimens will disappear like spit on a griddle. They have literally nothing.

Sturgeon is a disgrace. She must go - we must force her out - and hell mend her.

The only thing I want to say at this point, to add my voice fwiw, is thank you Glinner and everyone opposing and keeping on opposing this foolish, dangerous bill in all its forms and in every country it has been proposed or already enacted.

Deeply mentally sick men, and women, will be celebrating the removal of all safety, privacy and dignity from every woman and girl in Scotland today, whilst Sturgeon and Mhairi Black High 5 each other, their evil job done. I feel really sick....and will never step foot in Scotland. And what if these depraved men come to England with their GRCs? WHY is there NO politician brave enough to shout out "ENOUGH!" and rescind GRAs in both Scotland and the rest of the UK?

This is devastating. I'm Scottish and absolutely horrified this has gone through.

Heading to Holyrood today to tell these bastards this is not in my name. What an utter bitch Sturgeon is.

What a fucking shambles. The Scottish Parliament gives sex offenders and incels the break they were hoping for. This is going to be a disaster. Polls were very clear that people didn't want this garbage, and now there's going to be an increase in sex offences.

Everyone who voted for this is either pathetically weak, catastrophically stupid or (like former Labour MP Eric Joyce) a piece-of-shit pervert for whom mixed toilets are part of a grim sexual fantasy.
